Great lap. Great car. Those times you rode the M3's bumper were real gut-clenchers. I'd probably be more cautious without a roll cage, but then, I'm an old man... 66 in October! ;) Keep up the good work.
let the excuses roll out like a opened floodgates. I love when Honda boy start crying like the little bitches they are. There was a video of this Honda driver chasing a novice M4 driver and you should see the comment section filled with delusional fanboys talking about , "Vtec kicked in", or "BMW is slow and bmw are shit" etc when it was obvious in the video that the F30 M4 owner doesn't know the track and can't corner for shit or simply doesn't want to take the risk of crashing such an expensive car. Now an old M3 2 generations older than the F30 blew the same S2000 out of the water and y'all want to start crying like little whores? now, you want to praise both cars? I thought BMWs are shit and Honda is the best? pathetic fanboys. The M4s laptime is light years faster than the S2000 that doesn't mean a good driver can't beat slow driver in the M4. It all comes down to the driver, cars don't drive themselves. You should only compare cars when two equally skilled drivers and two equally weighed and powered cars are competing. nuff said.
You really notice the weight difference between your S2K and the M3 especially on the corner brake entry and as well as along corners and tight bends. But that E46 definitely has the power advantage.
@@TheBb6prelude. I don't think the S2K handles any better than an M3. I used to have one and in the wet it's trying to kill you. :-D That said. I love the car. Just needs a Rotrex blower.
@@IainMacUK its about the way you put the accelerator too bro s2k prone to oversteer because of the wild power he lies in the rpm's its demanding the accelerator work much more than usual i think
The e46 driver actually had a good dynamic line, and just cause an insanely lighter s2000 caught up in the corner doesn't immediately make him a shit noob driver, but good try kids. It's as if you didn't notice all the ferraris and shit being passed like nothing, all whilst the m3 was still leading
letskeepearthgreen yup. S2000's better in corners. That's where it shines. I'm sure the driver and car (s2000) is already at its limit (quote owner saying this was a track build s2000)
Erlquinn Josef Gambe Yeah definitely has to push it to keep that pace. I only know this cause I drive an s2000 and frequently track it so I totally understand the character the car is which is fairly unrelenting
Both drivers obviously know the ring well as can be seen from the lines they're taking. I've seen the same s2000 take apart an M5 driver who clearly wasn't a good driver and didn't know the ring. This was a good show of both cars capabilities, strengths and weaknesses by decent drivers..
@@imoovabull6042 better in straight lines. That's about it. Add a shorter final drive and the s2000 will keep pace with the m3 in a 1/4 mile drive race after that while still being fully stock motor vs fully stock motor.
Amazing driving mister !! I enjoy all your videos !! Great car also ! I have an RX8 231hp but the S2000 is my love ! Greetings from Greece, waiting for your next videos
Man i enjoy every single video of you!!And the top always down!!!Man with the top up you're gonna be way faster especially at high speeds!!!Congrats!!Mods of the M3?It's really unbeilivable that a 2lit single throttlebody VTEC!! motor can keep up with a 3.3 6 individual throttlebody m motor and with the top down!!!Best driving of a near stock s2000 in the ring!!!
No no no, he didn't keep up shit, only one car drilled the other car a new butthole and that's the bimmer. Stop looking for excuses and face the facts. individual throttle my ass, when you pick on BMW drivers who don't know the track then you never complain about individual parking sensors but, soon as you get your ass handed to you, then it's all kinds of excuses under the sun. Dude! if you don't get the fuck about it here. smh.
Brakes and nose quickness is far better in honda......but going nearly the same speed that BMW made it look easy. Far less twitching and adrenaline rushed moments. GREAT DRIVING! :)
I was wondering the exact same thing right at the beginning. I used to do landscaping as a teenager and it probably takes for ever to mow, or they just have a bunch of people who do it XD
Another great clip, thanks Xav_S2000. The driver of the M3 was far more accomplished than the M4 driver in your earlier clip, more decisive and knew the track. Good driving both and the car's relative performances were pretty much what I would have expected. Was that an M4 that passed you at the end? LOL Cheers from New Zealand.
NIce job. LIke all the rest of the S2000 drivers (I am one), we own the curves and get left on the straights. You caught him a number of times in the curves, only to have him take off on the next straight. Wow the AP1's are twitchy. MY 08 LBP seems a lot more stable. You control it like a maestro, nice job.
IMHO this is the best 2.0 4-cylinder engine in history. 240hp with no turbos, and sounds that are only matched by much bigger engines... congratulations Honda for making such a masterpiece, and for the video's driver for having the balls to drive it so insanely!
great stuff mate that e46 m3 has alot more power up top then the f20c for the weight I was expecting the E46 to be alot slower than he was compared to the much lighter s2k
+Barkın Ersavcı The S2000 has a NA-engine and has 240hp standard. The E46 M3 has also a NA-engine with 343hp and the M4 has a blown 431hp, although the M4 is heavier than the M3. The M4 looks beautiful, but my heart goes to the E46 M3 manual shifted 6-speed. The values i gave are according European standards.
I've seen a Porsche GT3 and a NSX just now on the related videos... and almost fell asleep. Nothing compares to driving a car how it's meant to be driven, like in this one.
I think without the passenger and the roof up you could've had that E46 (with the same driver). He knew the track, but a couple of bends he looked as if he was either distracted or misjudged the braking distance and ended up tail twitching. The M3 confidently eats tracks like that and looks the more "confident" with its near perfect weight distribution, but that little honda would definitely be more fun to go round the ring in! Cracking car, and well driven. And thats coming from an E46 M3 owner ;) So wish I was able to find the time to travel over and try the ring myself....
Superbe maîtrise ! Clairement le conducteur de la M3 est moins bon que vous, il garde l'avantage dans le rapide grâce au moteur mais dans les sections techniques ça ne fait pas un pli ! Par contre vous tenez combien de tours sans changer les plaquettes ? Il y a vachement de freinages musclés !
love your videos, off topic question - what smart phone mount are you using on top of your ac vent? My s2000 has been in storage for about 6 years and im taking it out!
Is he a ex racing driver?? Just where his hands consistently sit on the steering wheel, driving position, gear selected before the corners, where he starts breaking and when starts to accelerates near the end or out the corner. 🤔🤔

What counts is the pleasure of driving 😊
How come you have such low camber value in the front? Also, what kind of flat bottom do you have? Custom?
I added 1 ° of camber compared to the recommendation of Honda. It's a road / track compromise. The flat bottom is supplied with the Mugen bumper.
